Different sets of Downloader Pro settings can be saved as user profiles to cater for different download requirements e.g. a professional photographer may have a number of assignments with different download requirements such as filenaming or IPTC data and these could be saved in advance as different user profiles and then quickly recalled as required. Downloader Pro can also be setup to automatically prompt for which user profile to use at startup.

The currently selected user profile is displayed in the window title bar in square brackets after "Downloader Pro" unless the default profile is selected.

Saving user profiles

To save the current settings as a new user profile click on the "File" menu and select "Save..." from the "User Profiles" section and the dialog below will be displayed:

Enter the name of the profile and optional description and press the OK button. All the current settings including the download path, filenames, camera mappings, IPTC settings and plug-in settings will be saved and the new profile name will be displayed in Downloader Pro's window title bar.

Please note:

1.

User profile names must not contain \ characters

2.

Any changes to settings since Downloader Pro was run will be saved under the new user profile and not the profile that was selected before saving the new profile

Loading user profiles

To load a previously saved user profile click on the "File" menu and select "Load..." from the "User Profiles" section and the dialog below will be displayed:

Notes:
